Buffalo Bills Auction Historic Stadium Fixtures, Including Infamous Trough Urinals
Bills Sell Stadium Memorabilia, Including Trough Urinals

The Buffalo Bills are preparing to leave their longtime home, and they are inviting fans to take a piece of history with them. With the team set to move into a new, state-of-the-art stadium next door for the 2026 NFL season, the organization has launched a massive "everything-must-go" sale of fixtures and memorabilia from the iconic Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park.

From Seats to Sanitary Ware: What's Up for Grabs?

The Bills have partnered with sports memorabilia company CollectibleXchange and its founder, Brandon Steiner, to handle the monumental task of liquidating assets from the stadium that has been the team's home for 53 years. While stadium seats and chunks of the playing field are expected to be popular items, one particular fixture has captured the public's imagination: the stadium's notorious trough urinals.

These communal bathroom fixtures are a well-known, if not fondly remembered, part of the game-day experience for generations of male fans. Steiner confirmed they will be part of the sale, noting, "People want those troughs. They want that kind of stuff, so we’ll make that available … you’re talking about Buffalo, and people take a lot of pride in the stadium."

Sale Details and Community Benefit

According to reports, the sale has already generated significant interest. Over 12,000 orders have reportedly been placed. Prices start at US$549 for a single stadium seat, while pieces of turf and goalposts are going for around $100. More unique and rare items will be offered through auctions in the coming weeks.

This sale is not just for fan collectibles; it has a community purpose. Erie County, New York, which owns Highmark Stadium, will receive 50% of the proceeds from the sales. These funds are earmarked to support local community initiatives, adding a philanthropic angle to the memorabilia hunt.

A New Era on the Horizon

The move marks the end of an era for the Bills and their passionate fan base. The current Highmark Stadium, opened in 1973, has been the site of countless historic moments, including the team's current playoff run. The Bills advanced to the divisional round after a win over the Jacksonville Jaguars on January 11, 2026, though their playoff journey will continue on the road.

Their new home, a $2.1-billion stadium also named Highmark Stadium, is under construction directly across the street and is scheduled to open for the 2026 NFL season. While details on the new amenities are still emerging, fans are left to wonder: will the new men's rooms feature the same legendary troughs, or has that tradition been flushed away for good?

For now, fans have a unique opportunity to own a tangible piece of Bills history, from the seats they cheered in to the very fixtures that defined a no-frills, communal game-day experience.
